Rainy Lake Early Pike

April 9, 2010 at 2:37PM

As of this moment, the ice on Rainy is not out. However, it is very close. I have been able to get out on two bays on which I usually have good luck catching pike. So far, not much to report.

The water level is very low and the water temperature as of today, way back in the bays, is only 41 degrees.

Low water levels are going to make trouble for spawning fish. I'll keep on plugging. I am sure as soon as the water warms up a bit and the perch move shallow, the bite will start.

As an eviction crisis has seemed increasingly likely this summer, everyone in the housing market has made the same plea to Washington: Send money — lots of it — that would keep renters in their homes and landlords afloat.

It’s too soon to tell how much the immigration crackdown is to blame.
